Strange Dreams

I am not sure what has been on inside this crazy head of mine lately, but I have had the two weirdest dreams in the last couple of days. The dreams themselves are strange, the things that happen are completely ridiculous and random, so tell me what you think:

Dream #1 (Sunday night)
Westfield Mall was having some special for college students, where they could come in after hours and shop uninterrupted (apparently shopping with soccer moms and old people was too much stress on us college-going folk). You had to show your UNL ID at the entrance to get in (also, I guess Wesleyan, Union, etc were not allowed to participate in this little event, UNL only). All of the stores were open, but not all had people working in them, somehow you could take whatever you wanted from any of the stores, and there were special kiosks set up where you paid for things. They also had sensors set up at all the entrances so you couldn't steal anything. So weird. Well, Drake and I went to the mall with Britt and Teetz, (even though I graduated, I still have my school ID so I got in). I found some stuff I wanted at Maurices and we were going to one of the kiosks to pay, and the one we went to first was being run by Sally Field, who was doing wax sculptures as well as taking payments for purchases made in various stores. When I took this pair of jeans from the store, as I was walking to the kiosk they somehow wrapped themselves in wax, so basically I was holding this big block of wax that the Wax Lady (aka Sally Field) had to melt in order for me to take them home - also another security measure I guess, but still soooo weird. And she was a total bitch about it! She was all nice to Drake, who wasn't even buying anything, but was so mean that I took my wax block down to the calligraphy store and had some popcorn. True story - in my head anyway. Then I woke up.

I know you're thinking 'wow', and so am I. It's even more strange writing the dream down and I am sure you will all get a kick out of it. Now, the second dream. I had this one this afternoon when I was taking a nap.

I was cashiering at Office Depot (just about the only part of this dream that will make sense). I was working a regular 8-4:30 shift and then my grandpa was supposed to come pick me up (I don't know why, he lives in Minnesota, I have my own car, and he'd never make the trip without Grandma so that's just silly). I am on register one checking people out, when one of my managers, Steve, comes up from the back office and is carrying a toddler, who apparently is mine. Steve is my dad in this dream, which is also strange, but whatever. He had been babysitting my daughter even though he was working also. My grandpa came into the store and picked up the toddler and was sitting in one of the office chairs, and then we got really busy and each line had like, five people each in it. I told my grandpa that, even though he'd driven all the way from MN to pick me up from work (a six hour drive!) that now I had to stay until 5:30 to help, because apparently that extra hour of work was seven dollars I desperately needed. Whatever. Then he left but he left my daughter, and then there was a container of baked beans sitting on the counter from Kentucky Fried Chicken and I picked them up with my hand and threw them on the floor, then called my grandpa and had him come back to pick me up because I felt bad since he drove all that way just for me. Then I couldn't breath and it started freaking me out because I had lost the ability to swallow anything, and I woke up choking - it felt like I had swallowed my tongue which is a very scary feeling and I woke up not being able to breath.

Weird, huh?
